Therefore, much of the zinc added with citric acid in a lozenge is likely to appear as free, unbound Zn2+ in saliva.
Principally, it is much better to relate the Zn requirements of the animal to the level of absorbable and metabolically available zinc.
These results demonstrate (i) that dietary zinc was used more efficiently by broilers than by piglets, most probably due to the lower gizzard pH and its related higher zinc solubility; (ii) that zinc supplementation, irrespective of zinc source, was successful in improving animal's zinc status; and (iii) suggest that supplemented Zn availability was independent from the diet formulation.
Thus, zinc balance, concentrations of zinc in plasma and bone, esophageal histology and retention of 65Zn indicate that the minimum zinc requirement of the neonatal pig is between 26 and 31 ppm when fed a purified diet devoid of phytate.
The increased plasma response to a zinc load and decrease in salivary sediment zinc after a vegetarian diet indicate that this diet adversely affects zinc status.
Zinc absorption in humans could be improved by zinc complexation with gluconate.
The results of the present experiment indicate that the zinc tolerance test, that is, an unequivocal rise in serum zinc following per oral administration of this metal, provides the best indication of zinc status.
